ŽILVINAS MAŽEIKIS

Žilvinas has been working in the non-governmental sector for 12 years as a youth worker, project manager, and trainer. Currently, he is running a social empowerment program ‘Socialinis Sufleris’ helping communities to initiate and make a change on a local level. Recently Žilvinas has also discovered his new passion which is graphic recording.

Žilvinas believes that graphic facilitation and graphic recording not only engages audiences but also boosts innovative and creative thinking. According to the speaker, visual thinking is not only for talented people but for everyone who wants to express himself and be understood. He also believes that visualizing ideas might become a tool to make the world a better place. In fact, as the creator of ‘Marker Heroes’, he is illustrating numerous ideas during events and after each time being hired bringing Lithuanian children who have never been in Vilnius to see the capital.
